Not jealous at all, nope, in enjoying the dark and the rain 😭.

* Cracking bike that 450, doesn't have the charm or the looks of the old 410 (in my opinion) but it's a stonking ride on every objectively measurable way.

Phil has sent more pictures today.
There are 18 in the group, they are marking the corners and so far it’s working well. One of the blokes from NZ (Barry Sheene ) his sole on his boot came loose, so the local cobbler removed the whole sole and glued and stitched them back on and full leather clean £11

You will see more of Barry Sheene in the pictures checking that his repaired boot didn’t leak.
Phil has said it Brutal to be fair they are throwing everything at us.

Great pictures Asmith61. The next best thing to being there with your mate. One of the pictures shows a unique way to carry eggs on a bike, I can't even buy eggs from my favourite farm shop anymore because every time I have in the past they have been broken all over my top box by the time I got home. Keep the pictures coming please.

Today he has sent a video of last nights meal Sizzling steak (it was Yak steak ) with veg & chips. ( as I cannot post videos I have taken screen shots from the videos )
Todays Ride they are all struggling, as they are at 3759 metres and it is Hard to breathe, ( you will see what I mean from the picture ) they are nearly 3 times higher than Ben Nevis. And Apparently Altitude sickness starts at 2500 metres, only 1600 meters off Everest base camp 🤔 no wonder the air is thin.
And the Crash shirt is filling up with names.

Stunning pictures

I love the idea of the crash shirt...

Strewth, that's real adventuring!
Great pictures, thank you.
I can't do high bridges, I would have to crawl across that rope bridge with my eyes shut.

Asmith61 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 23, 2025, 11:06:46 »

2112 yes I thought the Crash shirt was a great idea too, and I hadn’t heard of it before either

MisterDavey I would be exactly the same, I don’t like heights and I suffer with vertigo

Breakfast was going to be at 7am this morning then start there descent, they have 130 miles to cover over 2 days off road back to Katmamdu and it is going to be Brutal !!
I will post pictures as always when I am sent them.
